Chapter 2 studies the geographical distribution of PROGRESA. Although Mexico has a history of clientelism and patronage, PROGRESA was designed to be nonpartisan. The analysis uses a probit model to test if political variables were correlated with community enrollment in PROGRESA in the early years of the program. We find evidence that political biases may have played a small role in the enrollment of technically ineligible localities.Subjects--Topical Terms:

Chapter 2 studies the geographical distribution of PROGRESA. Although Mexico has a history of clientelism and patronage, PROGRESA was designed to be nonpartisan. The analysis uses a probit model to test if political variables were correlated with community enrollment in PROGRESA in the early years of the program. We find evidence that political biases may have played a small role in the enrollment of technically ineligible localities.

Chapter 3 considers if PROGRESA had a political impact. The non-random placement of social transfer programs generally makes it difficult to estimate their political effects. However, the eligibility rules of PROGRESA created discontinuities in the probability that a community was enrolled in PROGRESA. These discontinuities provide a source of exogeneity that we exploit in a regression discontinuity design. We use community-level data to test the hypotheses that PROGRESA increased the vote share for the incumbent party (which launched the program), decreased the vote share for the opposition parties, and increased voter participation in the 2000 federal elections. We find that PROGRESA had no effect on vote shares or voter participation in the 2000 federal elections. Contrary to some political economy models, PROGRESA was not effective at winning votes for the ruling party.

Chapter 4 considers the relationship between term limits and political budget cycles in over 30 developing countries using a country fixed effects model. Political budget cycles refer to the short run manipulation of fiscal policy by incumbent politicians in response to the political cycle. While we find evidence for a political budget cycle, this cycle is not affected by binding term limits.

This dissertation presents three empirical essays that investigate how/if politics affect fiscal policy, and vice versa, in developing countries. The first two main chapters explore the relationship between a conditional cash transfer program in Mexico, called PROGRESA, and politics. The last main chapter tests if binding term limits affect the relationship between election cycles and fiscal policy.
